Five Years of Flawless Work—I Recommend Carl Without Reservation
I’m an artist; Carl has been photographing my paintings for over 5 years. I am so pleased with how clean and authentic my reproductions look. It’s a collaborative process with Carl; he shows me the image on a tablet while he’s shooting, and gives me the opportunity to evaluate the image as he adjusts accordingly and reshoots. My paintings have uneven edges so there is also considerable work on the computer beyond shooting the image, and again- we are collaborative partners until I am satisfied with the image. My peers are  always telling me how good my paintings look in print, and on the screen. Carl has real expertise, is really facile in his medium and is also an artist in photography, not just a documentor. His work is exceptional. I recommend him without reservation.

Excellent photographer doing amazing work!

Carl worked with me over a number of hours on a large format, mixed media piece — work on paper with applied painted inset, framed, and set behind glass. 
It was a David Wojnarowicz that required special attention to accurate color rendering and absolutely no reflections. Because it was going to an auction house catalog it had to be exacting. Well, Carl aced it.
In fact it was chosen for the auction catalog cover.
So, he is extraordinary. Highly recommended.
